News About This Theater

The Capitol 4 Theatres opened in 1980 seating 1,250. Impressive entrance with a large lobby. Nice color scheme both in the lobby and the auditoriums. Brightly lit lobby with a spacious area and large concession stand. Stereo in all auditoriums.

The Capitol 4 Theatre closed on August 27, 2009 due to its lease expiring. Business and staff were transfered to the nearby Capitol 8 Theatre.

The Capitol 4 did indeed close on Aug 27, 2009. Article in Jefferson City News Tribune stated that Goodrich Quality Theatres plans to upgrade the Capitol 8, and in classic doublespeak stated that closing 4 screens wll actually increase the variety of movies they show(?!).The Capitol 4 had been running second run discount features for several months now, but there is another second run theater in Jefferson City (Truman 4), and they often showed the exact same movies. It would have been nice if they had converted to independent and/or “art film” format like Ragtag Cinema in Columbia to show films that currently never get close to Jefferson City. Maybe someone will. They did not actually lose their lease at the mall, but lease expired, and Goodrich Quality did not renew. The Capitol Mall, like many indoor malls, is going through hard times right now, and many, if not most, of the smaller stores inside are empty.
